So far outperforming the legendary Cuban school of boxing

Russian Artillery better suited for the pro ranks

with all this war stuff going on i tend to think money might become very tight over the next years, not sure what funding boxers get but its surely going to be squeezed which will affect supply of boxers i would say

Move to the US

if promoters can get a return

Most of the innovation and opportunities I am seeing across Europe are in MMA or hybrids (boxing w/ MMA gloves) - unfortunately there isn't much of a unified market in Europe (can't really speak for Russia) so I think it's harder for the talents to find opportunities to develop.

[SN!PER]

Mainly the Russians who are leaving their country, yes, I can see some of them taking up boxing in the U.S., the UK, and Europe.
